An act of Islamic piety. As the caliph Umar is supposed to have said when ordering the library of Alexandria to be burned: “If the books agree with the Qur’an, they are superfluous. If they disagree with it, they are heretical.” “Islamist rebels torch Timbuktu manuscript library: mayor,” from Reuters, January 28 (thanks to all […]

Jews and the Crusades by Ibn Warraq Part 2 Part 1 IX.34: O you who believe! Lo! many of the (Jewish) rabbis and the (Christian) monks devour the wealth of mankind wantonly and debar (men) from the way of Allah. They who hoard up gold and silver and spend it not in the way of […]
Muslim scholars in Mumbai challenge Salman Rushdie to debate on Islam
Mumbai is an ironic place for them to make a public stand claiming that Islam is a Religion of Peace, but Islamic supremacists never suffer from any shortages of chutzpah. Anyway, they don’t really want to debate Rushdie so much as interrogate him: “…let us invite Rushdie to this city and answer our questions. If […]
Iran sentences U.S. pastor to eight years prison for threatening Iran’s “national security” by leading Christian house churches

Mali: Islamic supremacists force out musicians
“Reza Aslan recalled a saying that likened the Sharia to water, since “˜it takes the form of any vessel it is poured into.– It is amazing that the whole audience doesn’t erupt into laughter when the clownish Islamic supremacist Aslan emits these howlers. Sharia in reality is marked by a remarkable uniformity: the four Sunni […]
Ibn Warraq: Jews and the Crusades (Part 1)
Jews and the Crusades by Ibn Warraq Part 1 PART ONE: ISLAMIC ANTISEMITISM BEFORE 1096. Sir Steven Runciman, in the conclusion to his highly influential, elegantly written The History of the Crusades [1], seems to imply that it was the Christian Crusaders who alone were responsible not only for the “growing intolerance amongst the Moslems”, […]
#MyJihad in Egypt: Muslim group threatens Christians, tells them to pay jizya
“Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.” — Qur’an 9:29 […]
#MyJihad in Africa: Al-Qaeda dealing cocaine to fund jihad
This is nothing new. Jihadists have used drugs to fund their efforts for years. Years ago, in his study of the Taliban, journalist Ahmed Rashid reported: “Abdul Rashid, the head of the Taliban’s anti-drugs control force in Kandahar, spelt out the nature of his unique job. He is authorized to impose a strict ban on […]
UK: Al-Qaeda jihad bomb plot gangs given $47 million in legal aid to fund their defense
When Kevin Carroll and Tommy Robinson receive $47 million in legal aid, I will stop saying that the British legal system is biased against them and in favor of jihadists and Islamic supremacists. “Al Qaeda bomb plot gangs were handed £30m in legal aid to fund their defence,” by James Slack in the Daily Mail, […]
“Bring your Fake full of lies Robert Spencer Quran”
Jihad Watch reader James sent me the above tweet, and I had to laugh. I don’t have a Qur’an! I just borrowed his! Anyway, this “Muhammad Jack” character has no doubt gotten wind of my Zionist black arts that have cast all this and more into the Qur’an: 2:65 Jews are apes “And well you […]
Fewer than one in four people think Islam is compatible with British life, UK’s Muslim “faith minister” blames “Islamophobia”
Baroness Warsi is working from the same playbook that Hamas-linked CAIR and other Islamic supremacist groups in the U.S., along with compromised academics like Haroon Moghul and a host of other rogues and hacks, use regularly: deflect attention from jihad terror and Islamic supremacism by claiming that the whole thing is a public relations problem […]
Iranian General: “The Syrian problems have roots in covert and overt interference of the Zionists”
Of course. Who else could it be? “Iran: Syria’s problems rooted in Zionist meddling,” from Ynet News, January 27 (thanks to Alexander): Iran reiterated Saturday its threats that any attack on Syria would be perceived as one on the Islamic Republic and will meet “a harsh response.” Tehran’s IRNA news agency quoted Defense Minister Brigadier-General […]
“We urge and encourage Muslims worldwide, as well as those living in France, to perform their religious duty like a Trojan horse ““ to hit French interests”
These misunderstanders of Islam somehow got the crazy notions that Muslims should only submit to Sharia, and that Muslims should physically attack those whom they consider to be the enemies of Islam — and that such attacks are called jihad. Ahmed Rehab, call your office! “Jihadist Calls on Muslims in France to Become a ‘Trojan […]
U.S. spent $6.3 million on Afghan police cars that don’t exist
Whole buildings are missing there, so this should not come as any surprise. The worst part about this is that the money for these police cars and those buildings is somewhere: paying for some Afghan kleptocrat’s villa or even funding the jihad against the U.S. Your tax dollars at work on the fool’s errand in […]
Greeks intercept Turkish ship loaded with weapons
The ship was flying under the flag of St. Vincent and was registered as a cement bulk cargo ship. In reality, it was a Turkish ship loaded with weapons and bound for Libya, which a Greek paper speculated may have been on their way to the jihadists in Mali. “SHOCK – Turkish Ship With Tonnes […]
Qatar funding Mali jihadists
Since the government of Qatar is the former owner and still primary funder of al-Jazeera, maybe we will soon see Al Gore making a rose-colored documentary about the virtues of the Mali jihadists: The Inconvenient Jihad Murderers. “Mali: analyst, Qatar is funding Islamists,” by Alma Safira for ANSAmed, January 25 (thanks to Insubria): (ANSAmed) – […]
#MyJihad in Iraq: Al-Anbar tribes threaten to declare jihad against the government and the army

UK: Muslim abuser who “didn’t know” that sex with a 13-year-old girl was illegal is spared jail
Meanwhile Tommy Robinson has languished in prison in inhuman conditions for a far less serious offense — and people still deny that he is a political prisoner. “Muslim abuser who ‘didn’t know’ that sex with a girl of 13 was illegal is spared jail,” by Paul Bentley for the Daily Mail, January 25 (thanks to […]
Iran unveils machine for amputating thieves’ fingers
Sharia meets technology “Publishing these photos is a way to instil fear in the population so as to avoid any protests.” Because fear is at the heart of any Sharia regime. Why fingers for robbery and not the whole hand, as per Qur’an 5:38? Unclear. Perhaps the jurists involved were “moderates.” “Iran unveils machine for […]
